Patch-worked Cloth

Love like patch-worked cloth
is torn and fixed again
made anew or left to fray

Vagabond remnants find spaces to fill
well-worn reminders that
it's never too late to make amends.

But this tattered quilt
with holes for fingers and toes
to climb through still surrounds us
when we'd rather not sleep alone.
